With the South Wests main source of live musical entertainment being the Prince Of Wales it's impossible for youth to experience what is one of the most enthralling art forms; with very few events throughout the year it was great to see something put on and the night unfolded to be quite the success. Three Bunbury bands took stage in support of the forever touring Calerway. First up to the crease line were the long haired four piece, Rethrone. The guys played a solid set full of amazing guitar work, sweep picking and more and Muse like vocals captivated the young audience. A few gear glitches kept the band from keeping their flow as steady as they would have pleased but managed to get the night off to quite the start.

The intermission saw more people flock through the doors and during the line check "Misbelievers"� front man Colin Donaldson and brother Jaye, both full of energy persuaded a large majority of the crowd to come closer to the stage and before we knew it the cack handed onslaught had begun. The boys flew through many of their tracks with both Donaldson's bantering excitedly with their young audience, the fun had by the band rubbed off on the crowd with "Slipping Away"� catching many peoples attention and by the nights end everybody was talking about the brothers and their handsome drummer Mr. James Turbitt. Before finishing their set shirts were given out and once more the lights dimmed as the next act prepared to take stage.

Next To Nothing have been going through somewhat of a change lately, straying away from their old rock roots the boys were obviously up to something as they ran around setting up synthesizers, a kit bigger than their drummer himself and enough guitars to support all four bands let alone one. It didn't take long before the set opened up with new track "People Aren't My Forte"� the intro had people confused with a wavery vocal pattern which seemed way to pretty until everything opened up and youth limbs begun to fly around faster than Qantas jets do from the sky. Front man Keith Gisborne looked as if he'd had to many energy drinks before taking to stage running from left to right dancing like an epileptic and brother Jared pushing himself to the limit it was obvious the band have a newly found passion and desire for their music. The band played through a heavy set featuring the overly active Mark Jordan take a new role with his aggressive vocals bringing a smile to many of the heavier music fans in attendance.

As the Bunbury bands wrapped up the crowd unfortunately started to slightly thin, with this said the Calerway guys weren't deterred and were quick to take stage. Unlike the bands show supporting Something With Numbers last week all the gear was in working order and they broke into their set in quite the style. Vocalist JP was well spoken and interacted well with his followers and the band behind him filled the entirety of the huge stage. Playing through tracks off their latest release "Midnight Mercenaries" the band had a consistent sound and with a lot of practise under their belts it's obvious that you'll be seeing a lot of really big things come of this band within the next few months. The community support for the event was overwhelming and with Collins Music coming aboard to provide sound and bringing much needed musical awareness to the South West music scene it'd be great to see more events like this go ahead in the very near future. To everyone in attendance, continue supporting the music scene that supports you!
